Wedding hog roast in Founthill
How our wedding hog roast works in Founthill
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For wedding breakfasts with sides and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Founthill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Founthill
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Founthill close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Why choose a hog roast in Founthill?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
